Transcriptional Regulation of Rat Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I Gene [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective transport of lipids from high density lipoprotein to cells and plays an important role in the reverse uptake of cholesterol to the liver and in the delivery of substrates for steroidogenesis in steroidogenic organs.

Liver receptor homolog 1 controls the expression of the scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]

EMBO reports, 2002
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR‐BI), which mediates selective cellular cholesterol uptake from high‐density lipoproteins (HDLs), plays a key role in reverse cholesterol transport. The orphan nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH‐1) and SR‐BI are co‐expressed in liver and ovary, suggesting that LRH‐1 might control the expression of SR‐
